Commercial - Alta Sierra Folder - a fawn just a few weeks old strains for mom's attention. The doe first arrived at our home as an ematiated fawn who had lost her mother.

Digital Art - Composite Imagery Folder - In the third verse of Genesis it is said, "And God said, Let there be light." Light is life. Without it we cannot see. Light is knowledge. without it we cannot understand. I have always felt light is a priceless treasure of existence and that someone, somewhere was responsible for guarding and protecting it. Here the images from monuments in memorial parks embody this protective person and place in the universe.

Fine Art - Front Yard Series: Yes there is a cat at the center of this high dynamic range photo. Daisy walked on to the path and into the picture just as it was being shot. Spring color in our front yard from south west corner looking south. Azaleas and cherry tree blooms.

Natural History Folder - Catssss - Rome loves its cats. They are everywhere in the timeless city. The famed coliseum is no exception. This fellow hung out in this renowned piece of ancient architecture almost entirely by himself.

Composite Imagery Folder - Composite Art - The enviroment of the Sierra Nevada is both lush with life and as tough as the granite surface of its glacier carved mountains. A spirit of ever evolving rebirth and renewal permeates the land.

Composite Imagery - You found the three cats, I'm sure , but did you see who is looking at you looking at the cats? Not the obvious women shielding their eyes from possibilities of fate. But, the three faces of innocent Louise. Can you find them? And her guardian angel, of course.

Digital Art - Composite Art - The apostle Bartholomew is often depicted carrying his own face and skin. Is this an alegory about the value of courage and self-knowledge? Or about revealing our secrets to the world as a way to our own personal truth? Or simply expressing the 1st Century fact that Barlolew was flayed alive as a martyr. You decide.

ABOUT ME

“The photos on this site reflect life all around me. The roses from our garden, the cats are all family, the landscapes , wild critters from my California foothill home, the ancient coins from my collection, the angels and memorial parks from my book 'Forgotten Faces' and the golf courses, cemeteries and Gold Rush images originate from my neighboring communities.”

PHOTOGRAPHS — THE SEED OF EVOLUTIONARY IMAGERY.

"I value and enjoy the photographic image for its ability to express, engage and evoke. With today's unbounded digital darkroom, I often enjoy exploring a photograph as another form of art – composite, oil, sketch, digital, etc. Now a single image contains the seed of entirely new versions of itself - often evolving with unforseen yet welcome results." . – Ron Horne

FINE ART, CALENDAR AND GREET CARD IMAGERY

Ron enjoys and delivers photographic expertise as a Fine Art and Natural History photographer with images employed for greeting cards and calendars as well as company image design and messaging.
“Nature blesses us with unbridled beauty everywhere - in the expanding petals of a new rose, the grandeur of a living mountain range or the sentience of our animal allies. If I can, in any way, capture in an image, the power and beauty evoked by the moment or alive in the wild, I feel privileged to share it with you.”

ACCOMPLISHED AUTHOR

In addition to photography and photo-art, Ron is the author of 'Forgotten Faces - A Window Into Our Immigrant Past,' widely regarded as the first ever photo-history on memorial portraiture and its insights into 20th century immigrant America.

Featuring beautiful photographs throughout, it is very well-researched and a valuable contribution to the literature.”

Midwest Book Review agreed, "Horne…provides an outstanding survey of memorial portraiture as its own art form. …featured for its important cultural insights as well: immigrant history comes to life in an outstanding visual and written survey of a unique art and memorial form which should not be missed."
